SEMAFO Inc. provided a corporate and operational update following the November 11 Boungou update. The Boungou Mine remains closed. The company is evaluating a variety of options to restart operations at Boungou in a safe and secure manner. Although many of the aspects of a restart plan are within the control, there are other aspects for which need support from the government and from existing suppliers. Discussions with these parties are ongoing relative to a restart. However, the company do not anticipate Boungou restarting this year. Any restart plan will require the government to increase the security of the public road to Boungou as well as in the region. The company is evaluating scenarios to limit the use of the public road, such as transporting people by air from Fada to Boungou. Construction of the airstrip began before the attack, and the company is estimate it will take an additional three months to complete once construction activities are restarted. Transportation by helicopter will continue until the airstrip is completed and operational. Additional security personnel are on-site ensuring the continued safety of the site and of the small number of personnel remaining. The processing plant is being managed to allow for a smooth restart when possible. As part of the process, some gold in circuit will be recovered for a last shipment in December. As of November 6, 2019, the stockpile held approximately 1.1 million tonnes of ore at an estimated average grade of 3.4 grams per tonne. One scenario under evaluation contemplates a phased restart plan. Phase one would involve processing the stockpile only without mining. This would allow for a quicker restart as it requires a smaller number of personnel and would generate positive cash flow. The stockpile would provide approximately ten months of feed for the mill . Phase two would involve restarting the mining. The company is currently in discussions with mining contractor, African Mining Services, in relation to phase two including for a seamless transition should AMS not return to Boungou. Operations at the Mana Mine continue in-line with guidance, albeit with increased security. Development of Siou underground continues as planned, and full production is expected in March. 2020 plan will focus on maximizing cash flow.
